Abstract (en)
A disk apapratus includes an optical pickup (5) for making access to an optical disk (4) having read-only regions and writable regions arranged alternatively at predetermined radial intervals and storing boundary write track position information representing adjacent read-only region and writable region; a thread motor (11) for moving the optical pickup (5) in the disk radial direction; an RF amplifier (7), in response to the output from the optical pickup (5), for generating a traverse signal whose level changes each time the optical pickup (5) traverses the write track at first setting corresponding to the read-only region or second setting corresponding to writable region selected on the basis of a switch signal when the optical pickup (5) is moving; a servo circuit (9) having counting means for counting the number of write tracks traversed on the basis of the traverse signal; and a system controller (8) for outputting the switch signal to the RF amplifier (7) on the basis of the number of write tracks output from the present track position to the boundary write position and on the basis of the number of write tracks counted by the servo circuit (9) when the boundary write track position exists between the present write track position which is accessed at present by the optical pickup (5) and is detected by the present position detection means and the target write track position. <IMAGE>
